📘 Hold on to your kids by Gordon Neufeld

Gordon Neufeld, a Canadian pediatrician, discusses how contemporary parenting practices and the cultural emphasis on economic success may weaken the fundamental attachment between children and their parents. He argues that the proliferation of group activities—such as play dates, after‑school programs, and peer‑centric environments—encourages children to shift their attachment needs from adults to peers. Neufeld warns that this shift can stifle individuality, curiosity, and healthy development, potentially contributing to negative behaviors in children. The book proposes strategies to rebuild a caring adult hierarchy and re‑establish a firm parent‑child relationship.
